Thank you for your interest in taking part in this research study Evaluating the use of the Physiotherapy Evidence Database’s (PEDro) Evidence in your inbox service: an observational study
You are eligible to take part in this research if you are currently a subscriber of the PEDro Evidence in your inbox service.
If you decide to participate, you will be asked questions related to yourself and how you use PEDro’s Evidence in your inbox service. It is expected that this questionnaire can be completed in 5 to 10 minutes. You can only complete the questionnaire once. There are no direct benefits to you by completing the survey; however, the results of this study will help PEDro improve the service to enable subscribers to use Evidence in your inbox more optimally.
At the end of the survey, you will be provided with the option to participate in a follow-up interview. You do not have to participate in the interview if you do not want to. The interview will explore your experiences using Evidence in your inbox further. The interview will be conducted online via ZOOM or Skype and will not be longer than 15 minutes.
